I found the initialization file that changes all the $PATHS on the
terminal, it's:
usr/share/tcsh/examples/login
The other file I mentioned first is by the Fink Project, so, only Fink
users will have, but this one (login) ships with every mac, and is
invoked by ~/.login ... I'll paste it's content here:
##
# LOGIN FILE
#
# Wilfredo Sanchez Jr. | tritan at mit.edu
# Dec. 5, 1990
#
# MIT Project Athena
#
# ORIGINAL SOURCES: /usr/athena/lib/login
# and /usr/prototype_user/.login (ATHENA REL 7.2)
##
##
# Set paths
##
set path = ( \
~/bin \
/usr/local/bin /usr/bin /bin \
/usr/local/sbin /usr/sbin /sbin \
)
if ($?version) then
if ("$version" =~ tcsh*) then
set path = ( "~/bin/${MACHTYPE}-${VENDOR}-${OSTYPE}" $path )
endif
endif
setenv MANPATH "${HOME}/man:/usr/local/share/man:/usr/share/man"
if (-r "${tcsh_initdir}/path") source "${tcsh_initdir}/path"
##
# Read user's login
##
if (-r "${tcsh_initdir}/login.mine") then
source "${tcsh_initdir}/login.mine"
endif
